Now with added angst! For simplicity, I will not be using their assigned numbers in this post. Also the [REDACTED]s are not all censoring the same event, time period, or person. Thanks again to @bionicle-ramblings for this AU.

Keetongu is an anomaly resembling a mushroom/Sasquatch hybrid, who used to wander around healing the sick prior to his capture.

Onewa and Vakama get along much better in this AU than they do in canon at the start, because Onewa can actually understand Vakama’s feelings of stress and resentment from being treated like less for something he can’t control, plus he can appreciate a fellow artist. Onewa isn’t all sunshine and daisies with him, but Whenua gets much more of his ire than Vakama does. He and Vakama actually balance each other out a bit, as Vakama felt guilt for things he shouldn’t, while Onewa didn’t feel much guilt at all for some things that he actually should.

Onewa was able to hide the early signs of his rocky skin patches as being a form of ichthyosis (a skin condition that resembles scales, depending on the type), at least until he developed his telepathy skills and the patches became more obvious.

Nuju is actually related to Agent [REDACTED], but did not find this out until after the [REDACTED] event, during a conversation in the [REDACTED] period. The agent in question was also unaware, as Nuju had been thought dead by the family and was thus rarely or never mentioned out of grief.

Nuju’s first vision was his sister being severely injured while she tried to protect him from being taken into custody by SCP Agents after he came to visit her and her young child (whom he hadn’t gotten to meet yet) upon returning from his mountain climbing trip. He stayed away to protect her, and chose to let her think that he had died in a mountain climbing accident. His last vision as a free man was the agents coming for him and Nokama.

Takua’s crystal form (Takanuva) is actually incredibly heat resistant. It is also incredibly hard to damage in other ways. Any scars that do form on it resemble rainbows or opal-like streaks. After the [REDACTED] event, he has several of these scars.

Vakama receives his first real hug in years whilst in custody from either Takanuva or Nuju.

In terms of how long they've been in the facility, the order is more or less a reverse of how the Metru were chosen as Toa, but with some switch arounds:

Vakama has been in the facility for seven years, soon to be eight

Matau has been in the facility for about six years

Whenua has been in the facility for four years

Onewa has been in the facility for three years

Nuju and Nokama have been in the facility for two years

Takua/Takanuva has only been in the facility for three months, and it shows

Both Nuju and Vakama still get visions, which the facility study to see how accurate they are

Vakama is not allowed to keep his sculptures in his room, but is allowed to visit them with an escort.

Nuju’s sister has Vitiligo. Nuju and Agent [REDACTED] do not.

Zaktan was incredibly difficult to capture in his entirety.

@bionicle-ramblings has a wonderful SCP AU post here https://www.tumblr.com/bionicle-ramblings/741127637398962176/theres-a-lot-of-good-stuff-here-whenua-more-or and I had a small idea myself.

After calling Hewkii mahri a barechested barbarian, this is all I could think of.

After calling Hewkii mahri a barechested barbarian, this is all I could think of.

They weren't thinking about the ideal toa form at all, so the red star just went "Oh well, default mode it is. -ZAP-"

HOWEVER

When they became the toa mahri after a zap from the mask of life, they absolutely had a mental image of what the ideal toa should be, and THAT'S why they look so different.

Kongu became a juggernaut

Hewkii turned into conan the barbarian

Hahli ended up a valkyrie

Nuparu turned into what I can only describe as an underwater stealth bomber

Matoro- well. He's a beanpole. can't help that.
